Aly Cissokho was recalled from his loan to Porto to join a struggling Aston Villa defense but his return didn't help in Villa's 3-1 loss to Sunderland.

Sunderland have a pretty bad attack but that didn't matter much against Aston Villa. Patrick van Aanholt opened up the scoring and Jermain Defoe added two more late to finish Villa off. The starting back four of Hutton, Richards, Lescott, and Cissokho shouldn't get another start, and I would imagine Remi Garde will be making changes for the next match. If Cissokho starts again, he will be a DFS option as he put in four crosses last week and has the potential to contribute in attack. Jan 3 - 5:19 PM

Aston Villa defender Aly Cissokho has joined Porto on a season-long loan, according to SkySports.

Cissokho had lost his place in the Aston Villa rotation, especially with Jordan Amavi coming into the squad, and Villa found a way to ship him out for a year. Cissokho will have a chance to recoup some of his value while at Porto and Villa are hoping he plays well enough to where they can sell him next summer. This is a win for everyone.

Cissokho has missed time with a groin injury but is back at training and has a chance to return to the lineup this weekend. We think it will be Matthew Lowton who gets the start with Cissokho getting a spot on the bench but with the situation lacking clarity, we would avoid both in fantasy this weekend.

Aly Cissokho could compound Aston Villa's defensive issues if he isn't able to recover from a knock in time to face Newcastle on Saturday.

With Kieran Richardson out with a calf issue, Cissokho is the next in line to play left back for the Villains. With Ron Vlaar definitely missing through suspension and Nathan Baker, Alan Hutton and Philippe Senderos all uncertain as well it could be a makeshift defense that faces the Magpies. Even if more than one of the doubts manages to start it seems certain that Villa's defense will be at something less than it's best. Fri, Feb 27, 2015 03:20:00 PM
